I can't explain it. it just...was.
My best guess at it would be that Miz is now THE BEST as he has been passed down THE BEST from the former THE BEST, Ric Flair. Now for anyone else to be THE BEST they need to beat Miz to prove it or something? It's kinda like that thing where CM Punk had to beat Cena again to prove he was a real champion or something?
All terrible terrible jokes aside though, I hope they just forget about this. Anything Miz/Flair related is serious channel changing material for me at this point.

It seems to be straight out of the book of LOLTNA. LOLWWE, I guess!

They have Flair's daughter in developmental and yet Miz is the one who gets the Figure Four...
What is Miz's connection to Flair anyway? Why would Flair pass it on to him? Is there some long relationship that they hinted on? Was Flair going to give to the first person he saw? Did Flair sell him the move? That seems more reasonable, Flair sold him the Figure Four.

Somebody "up there" probably sees something in Miz and they're desperately trying to get him over by alligning him with a well-respected legend. TNA tried it with Flair/AJ and Hogan/Abyss and they failed miserably. However, unlike Miz, AJ and Abyss already were good wrestlers and alligning them with money grubbing hasbeens actually set them back. With Miz, you can't make him suck more, so it might help him. He's not main-event material, though.

Flair really should leave the memories alone.

*Shrug* I don't mind Miz having a submission hold.
I understand fans wanting him to fall flat on his face and not get over, and therefore not wanting him to add any moves to his moveset, but still, I'm OK with him having a submission.

In summary:
Wooooo! WOOOOOO! Wooooooo! WOOOOOOO! No, man, you do the Figure 4. WOOOOOO! *elbow/knee drop to jacket*
Vintage Flair. Just surprised he didn't blade to sell the danger of his jacket.

Ignoring whether the segment was terrible or not...
I don't mind Miz using the figure 4 some. I don't know whether that's what happened or not though, might have just been for that segment.

It's all a ploy to get Cesaro over more.

I actually didn't mind the segment, but I thought Flair allowing Miz to do the Figure 4 was great. Plus Miz did it perfectly so he's better than Ricky Steamboat at stealing a guy's finisher.

I mean Flair is a drunken, incoherent, many times divorced adulterer and completely plays into the stereotype which is what Cesaro hates about Americans. It would make more sense for Cesaro to befriend someone who prided themselves upon intelligence than someone who prides themselves on being a player.

I just tough it was random...why Miz? Why give MIZ a submission? And from Flair? HEY MIZ THERE IS FLAIR,BOOM MAGIC HAPPENED,YOU LEARNED THE FIGURE FOUR LOCK AND CAN MAKE PEOPLE TAP OUT.PEACEOUT Miz has been failing miserably at getting over as a babyface. So this was almost like a last ditch effort to get him over by having Ric Flair who is considered a God by most wrestling fans, endorse Miz and even pass on his trademark hold. I don't know how many times I said this,Miz isn't failing at anything. He gets big responses every time he's on TV. The only problem with face Miz is WWE is,again,going the ''Cena-face'' route like they did on Sheamus,which has never been any good.

It just makes no sense why they would be associated with each other in any way. Flair was always associated with the best. Pairing up with Hunter made sense because he was the top heel at the time and was a ring general. Even the pairing with AJ Styles made sense in a way because he was the best in ring performer in TNA.
Miz is not the kind of wrestler that Flair would gravitate to. He's not the best at anything, and he's certainly not a ring general, so I can't logically see why they were associated in kayfabe, let alone why he'd pass any "torch". A pairing with Ziggler would make sense, but not Miz.
And yes, I'm aware that the pairing was to give Miz the rub, but there are so many other performers who are more deserving than Miz for that honor.

It just reeks of another move to try and get Miz to that top level. They keep putting him in these high profile positions in an attempt to push him as the next megastar of the company and he just isn't getting there.

King literally says: "RIC MAY BE PASSING THE TORCH OF THE FIGURE FOUR" Absolute stupidity.

Where is this idea that Flair is "passing the torch" to Miz coming from? Miz did the Figure Four once in a segment with Ric Flair on a nostalgia show. Is Flair coming back for a run and actually going to manage Miz like he did with AJ?
It seemed like a one off thing to me.

I just want to see mega-heel manager Flair done better than it was in TNA.
